CONFERENCE
New Challenges in Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Simulation of Superfluids
June 27 – July 1, 2016
Research in superfluidity (including Bose-Einstein Condensation, superfluid Helium and supraconductors) has a rapidly growing dynamics in Physics, motivated by applications which may lead to a new technology revolution. In parallel, mathematical studies related to these models (nonlinear Schrödinger equation, Gross-Pitaevskii equation, Ginzburg-Landau equation) have known a dramatic development, associated with rigorous mathematical theories and advanced numerical methods.

The goal of this conference is to bring together physicists and mathematicians whose expertise in this field is renowned, thus easing the interdisciplinary communication and allowing some future collaborations.

This conference will also be the opportunity to present the results obtained in the framework of the BECASIM ANR project, whose goal is to establish a new state of the art in the field of numerical methods and high performance computing in the simulation of Bose-Einstein Condensation. As the conference takes place during the final year of the project, this will be the opportunity to present the mathematical models, the numerical methods, parallel computing codes, so they can be shared with physicists, and to make plans on future research.
